Are all craiglist used ads scam?

You get your share of crazies on CL, just like with any other market. But that's because the people on CL are just a subset of the overall population...and a good sized chunk of the population is cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs crazy whether they're on CL or not.

I've found some great deals on CL, for music instruments, guitar amps, and especially speakers. I've scored some deals that had me doing cartwheels I was so happy. Just do your homework, be careful, and keep your wits about you at all times...just like in life overall.

Try HI FI SHARK as a litmus test to CL.
They surf most of the Euro listings .

As the prior posts indicate, if it seems too good to be true .... Walk away !

There is an irrefutable and inescapable tenet in this hobby: you get what you pay for .

If you stay local and deal personally with the buyer, check
the audio equipment if it's in a working condition..you will
avoid scams.

Oh, and make sure they have the original invoice.

No only 80% are a scam

I have bought quite a bit off the Mpls.-St.Paul list with no problems.
